The President “has been noisily and passionately promoting his golf properties in every corner of the typically staid golf community for more than a decade” the Post reported.

Mr Trump has long been a fan of the sport and in doing business in or around the course.

The President even brought up a game last month played between corporate executives, even encouraging the chief executive of General Electric Jeffrey R. Immelt to reveal a story about a game they played years ago at one of his courses.

“Jeff actually watched me make a hole in one; can you believe that?” Mr Trump said.
